It should beunderstood explicitly and implicitly by those skilled in the art thatthe embodiments described in the disclosure may be combined with theother embodiments.

In order to better understand a sound effect configuration method, asystem and a related device disclosed by the embodiments of thedisclosure, the embodiments of the disclosure will be introduced belowin detail.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a sound effect configuration methodaccording to an embodiment of the disclosure. As illustrated in FIG. 1,the sound effect configuration method includes the following operations.

In S101, responsive to detection of a starting operation for a targetapplication of a mobile terminal is detected, the mobile terminaldetermines a period for setting sound effect including system time,wherein the target application is configured to control an audio outputdevice.

In the example, a selection operation may be, for example, a touchoperation for an application icon of the target application or a voiceselection operation. The period for setting sound effect may be, forexample, 7 AM to 8 AM, 8 AM to 9:30 AM, 12 AM to 1:30 PM and the like.

In the example, the audio output device may be a sound playing devicewith an operating system (for example, an Android operating system andan iOS), for example, a wireless loudspeaker, a wired loudspeaker and avehicle-mounted music playing system.

In S102, the mobile terminal determines a reference parameter of soundeffect corresponding to the period for setting sound effect includingthe system time according to a pre-stored mapping between periods forsetting sound effect and parameters of sound effect of the audio outputdevice.

In the example, the reference parameter of sound effect may include, forexample, at least one of:

a Compress parameter, an Amp-Type parameter, an EQ_Bass parameter, anEQ_Mid parameter, an EQ_Treble parameter or a Noise_Gate parameter.

In S103, the mobile terminal sends a pre-configuration instructionincluding the reference parameter of sound effect to the audio outputdevice, wherein the pre-configuration instruction is configured toinstruct the audio output device to create an instance of sound effectfor an audio stream to be played according to the reference parameter ofsound effect, and the instance of sound effect is configured toconfigure sound effect of the audio stream to be played.

In the example, an audio output module includes an audio data processingchip, an acoustical device such as a loudspeaker and the like. A type ofthe audio stream may be, for example, a prompt tone, a background sound,a song and a communication sound.

It can be seen that, compared with a solution in the conventional artthat a user manually configures a sound effect of the audio outputdevice, the mobile terminal in the embodiment of the disclosuredetermines the reference parameter of sound effect corresponding to theperiod for setting sound effect including the system time firstly andsends the pre-configuration instruction including the referenceparameter of sound effect to the audio output device, and then the audiooutput device creates the instance of sound effect for the audio streamto be played according to the reference parameter of sound effect, sothat the sound effect of the audio stream to be played of the audiooutput device may be automatically set without manual setting, therebyimproving convenience and intelligence in sound effect setting andimproving user experience.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, before the mobile terminaldetects the starting operation for the target application of the mobileterminal, the following operations may further be executed.

The mobile terminal sends an acquisition request for parameters of soundeffect to the audio output device, and receives an acquisition responsesent by the audio output device in response to the acquisition requestfor the reference parameter of sound effect, wherein the acquisitionresponse comprises a present parameter of sound effect of the audiooutput device. The mobile terminal determines that the present parameterof sound effect is mismatched with the reference parameter of soundeffect, and outputs a prompting message for indicating sound effectabnormity.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, before the mobile terminaldetects the starting operation for the target application of the mobileterminal, the following operations may further be executed.

The mobile terminal acquires N audio playing records of the audio outputdevice, wherein the audio playing records comprise playing time of audiostreams and parameters of sound effect of the audio streams, N being aninteger more than 1. M periods for setting sound effect of the mobileterminal are created according to the playing time of the audio streamsin the N audio playing records, M being a positive integer smaller thanN. The mobile terminal determines a parameter of sound effect with alongest usage duration or a highest usage frequency or a largest usagenumber in each period for setting sound effect according to the audioplaying records in each of the M periods for setting sound effect. Andthe mapping between the periods for setting sound effect and theparameters of sound effect is established.

In some embodiments of the disclosure, after the mobile terminal sendsthe pre-configuration instruction including the reference parameter ofsound effect to the audio output device, the following operations mayfurther be executed.

The mobile terminal displays a playing setting interface for the audiooutput device. When detecting a playing operation for the audio streamto be played on the playing setting interface, the mobile terminalgenerates a playing control instruction for the audio stream to beplayed. The playing control instruction is sent to the audio outputdevice, wherein the playing control instruction is configured toinstruct the audio output device to configure the sound effect of theaudio stream to be played according to the instance of sound effect andplay the audio stream to be played.
